Are the keys weighted? Does the piano sound reflect how are and soft you play the keys?

No they are not. You get the same sound regardless of how hard or soft you hit the keys.

No, they are not weighted. You have to push hard. No, soft and loud doesn't happen with key pressuredifferences, since you have to push hard just to get sound at all. When playing chords, not all of the notes in the chord produce sound. I would never recommend this keyboard. I returned mine.

No the keys are not weighted and there is no difference between hard and soft playing.

I think it's a keyboard that play the sound quieter if the keys are pressed lightly, and louder if the keys are pressed harder. It's truer to the way a real piano is. The harder the the strings are struck the louder the sound. This keyboard play the note the same sound and quality regardless of how hard or fast you push on the keys.

Weighted is the resistance of the keys to feel real and touch sensitive has to do with the amount of speed you press the keys, another words the faster you press the keys, the louder the sound. Touch sensitive works great but I would say the weight is not all there. I enjoy playing it as if it was a real piano.

That's strange, from what I've read it has a heavy touch. I have the piano (but I'm not a pianist) and I'd say the touch is heavy. Either way, if you're concerned I'd recommend going to a local music shop and comparing the available models.

The keys are very sensitive. I got this piano for a handicapped kid and the keys respond to her kicking then softly.

Don't know what you mean by soft, do you mean the click of the keys making a soft sound? If that is it, then it is not overly loud, but makes a slight sound typical of typing. If it's feel then it is the typical hard plastic key feel.

I bought it for my daughter but I believe the keys are weighted. Check the manual available online.

The keys are not weighted. They are sensitive to touch, as in, if you strike it hard, it will produce a louder sound, but it doesn't feel like a real piano.

It's lighter than the real pianos of course. But not by much. But the other Japanese brand do have heavier keys.

No, the keys use a spring mechanism rather than a counter-weight system as had been stated already. The Privia pianos have a counter-weighted system that feels as close to an acoustic piano as I've ever played. I also agree that the Casio spring-weighted mechanism on these is pretty close, but for serious piano technique, I'd switch to a true weighted action ASAP. For serious organ technique, these are closer to a typical organ type key mechanism as for example on the Hammond, Wurlitzer, Farfisa etc. organs. Just my opinion.

Yes they do. Black keys are matte finish so they look/feel diff. (minor). Piano looks great for its price.

Not really. They have some feel but are not like playing a piano. You can find keyboards that have that feature.

No, these are not weighted keys. But this is the closest you can get for this amount. I like it. No complaints.

Yes from what I know of keyboards. It is about the same as our upright piano.

You are able to press down the keys, but it is easier than normal piano keys. Some keyboards are weighted, so that they feel more like a real piano. These keys aren't weighted, so it is different than a real piano, but they still feel and work great. It is a great buy for the price and works great.

They feel fine, plastic, but fine, it's the action that is incredible. Hammer action, not weighted. All out pianists say it feels like a real piano...we have 3 of these

This is not a weighted key piano and does not play like a real piano. If you want weighted keys you need to go purchase the higher priced model.
